They built low walls to capture runoff and silt. Over time the reservoirs captured water…

Water flow Analysis showing where micro Check dams can be located Grey areas show where water can be captured using micro-check dams so every major storm will refill the reservoir. Dark lines represent large water flow areas were larger professionally engineered dams are needed and are likely riparian zones. White areas are those where this…

Small village farmers on Mauritius and Rodrigues Islands have been forced by water scarcity to reduce the amount of land they can cultivate by 2/3 In some instances they have been forced to purchase expensive water from retailers bringing it around on carts. This has reduced their farm income and pushes them closer to poverty….

This article discusses a low cost way to increase the food production on desert and degraded lands while reducing the impact of droughts. This is accomplished without increasing demand for ground water and can even help recharge the local aquifer. This is accomplished by maximizing water retention on the land where rain water falls so…

This article discusses using micro-capture to mitigate damaged and water scarcity suffering caused by deforestation. Deforestation can be the root cause behind many water scarcity situations. The solution is applicable in larger context where micro-weirs can be used to provide a reliable water source for people suffering from water scarcity even in areas with…

43.7 billion RS liability from farmer suicides in India can be prevented. Farmer suicides in India are well publicized but we have seen similar conditions all over the world including the Nagev desert and Africa. The underlying debt problem is often aggravated by a combination of soil degradation, drought, water scarcity, mono-crops and expensive GMO seeds….

I discovered “Innovations in Groundwater recharge” in a linked in thread “How to collect flood waters, to be used at a later date” . I found the approach compelling and wanted to share it here. During their tests it delivered substantial recharge of ground water levels that had been dropping during the prior decade. The locations…

Artificial Water sources can help desert wildlife survive during drought Water scarcity can make it difficult for animals to survive during hot summer months. Life becomes even more difficult during extended droughts due reduced food supply combined with dried out water holes. Climate change is causing more severe droughts that last longer and occur…

On our how you can help page we mention that helping us gain visibility with philanthropic organizations. This is perhaps the most important task we can complete for delivering the technology to those who really need it. One of the the uses for Air Solar Water is to provide wildlife watering stations in locations where species…

In the article Pleasant Beach Solar water generator produced 1.7 times Goal for Summer June-3-2016 I mentioned that we were going to add some additional power and see how it affected production. At the time we were hoping for an increase of 20% compared to baseline power. Unfortunately as soon as I added the…

In the article “8 Fastest Ways to purify water” posted on the urban survival site Alan does a good job of explaining different water purification options. Many articles cover why water is essential to survival so suffice to say you need water and can only survive a few days without it. Surface water degrades quickly Filters…

Solar Water maker produced 170% of our summer goal on Jun-3. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results from our Pleasant Beach test system. I think there is still some optimization available for power allocation but I think we can make customers happy at this level of production. Design for 83S is good enough…

Each 83S will produce over 51 ounces, (1.5 liters) or 0.42 gallons of water per sunny summer day in most locations. Multiple units can be installed as an array…

Restore degraded and desertified land without Increasing Ground water demand Desertification is difficult but solvable Desertification is essentially degradation of soil so it can not longer support viable crops. This is often complicated by reduced amount of water caused by dropping aquifer’s, drought and altered rainfall patterns caused by climate change. It can be further…

6 Gallon (23 liters) per day Air Solar Water System: The A2WH-23LPD Air Solar Water system will produce an average of 23 Liters of clean water every sunny summer day. 23LPD contains 16 A2WH-83S units. Condenses water from humidity in air Works in low humidity areas like deserts. Powered entirely by solar energy. Does not depend…

AirSolarWater.com Jan 2006 – All Rights Reserved Around the world there is a lot of desert land that could be viable for agriculture but where there is inadequate water available to support the plant growth. We explore in this paper if it would be cost effective to reclaim some of this land using the Air…

A2WH Grow Dryland Reduces financial impact of drought on cattle ranching Air to Water Harvest Airsolarwater.com Impact of Drought on Ranchers Drought hurts ranchers and herders by reducing the food supply they depend on which forces them to either sell their animals at a discount or buy abnormally expensive food both of which increase their…

Mitigate impact of Global Warming on Dry Cities A2WH solution harvests the water humidity in the air and converts that humidity into super clean liquid water. This can be done from personal sized units that yield a few gallons per day up through large scale infrastructure producing billions of gallons per year. All air even…

The Air Solar Water grow Dryland Unit is a highly effective way for farmers to get water to their trees.
